Lewis structure
![Draw the Lewis structure of benzyl alcohol-α-13 C. Start by drawing the overall structure of the molecule, ignoring potential double and triple bonds: Count the total valence electrons of the carbon (n_C, val = 4), hydrogen (n_H, val = 1), and oxygen (n_O, val = 6) atoms: 7 n_C, val + 8 n_H, val + n_O, val = 42 Calculate the number of electrons needed to completely fill the valence shells for carbon (n_C, full = 8), hydrogen (n_H, full = 2), and oxygen (n_O, full = 8): 7 n_C, full + 8 n_H, full + n_O, full = 80 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 80 - 42 = 38 bonding electrons are needed. Each bond has two electrons, so in addition to the 16 bonds already present in the diagram add 3 bonds. To minimize formal charge carbon wants 4 bonds. Identify the atoms that want additional bonds and the number of electrons remaining on each atom: Fill in the 3 bonds by pairing electrons between adjacent highlighted atoms. Note that the six atom ring is aromatic, so that the single and double bonds may be rearranged: Answer: | |](../image_source/35baf7218dfafdb417054a5bc9b56880.png)
